We are a specialty finance company that lends to and invests in
development-stage companies in the technology, life science, healthcare
information and services and cleantech industries, which we refer to
collectively as our "Target Industries." Our investment objective is to generate
current income from the debt investments we make and capital appreciation from
the warrants we receive when making such debt investments. We are focused on
making secured debt investments, which we refer to as "Venture Loans," to
venture capital backed companies in our Target Industries, which we refer to as
"Venture Lending." We also selectively lend to publicly traded companies in our
Target Industries.
